Tetris, with Jon S. Baird at the helm, proves to be a diverting and energetic movie that finds a way to combine a realistic narrative with a breezy feel. The writing is excellent; it's tight and keeps viewers interested from beginning to end. Although there’s some older-fashioned “America versus Russia” messaging that felt a little behind the times, the storyline still held my attention. I did find the ending stretched believability somewhat, and the car chase didn’t quite fit with the rest of it. Taron Egerton really made an impression as the central character, essentially holding the movie together through his acting. The other performers were perfectly adequate, but nothing particularly stood out. Generally speaking, the performances neither significantly enhanced nor detracted from the film. The direction was very effective, and the transitions using 8-bit graphics between locations and different parts of the story were a definite highlight. However, those random eight-bit visuals superimposed on the regular picture seemed somewhat jarring. The look and feel of the eighties were captured exceptionally well, and both the music and song choices were superb. Ultimately, Tetris is a worthwhile film that presents an unusual perspective on the famous video game. Even though the story occasionally depends on outdated propaganda, it mostly remains entertaining and believable. Taron Egerton’s performance is noteworthy, while the direction and musical score create an engaging and nostalgic experience for audiences. Score: 72% Verdict: Good
